NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Unaudited
Note 1. Accounting Policies
The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Allegheny Technologies Incorporated and its subsidiaries. Unless the context requires otherwise, “Allegheny Technologies”, “ATI” and “the Company” refer to Allegheny Technologies Incorporated and its subsidiaries.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for any future period. The December 31, 2014 financial information has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.
In 2013, the Company sold or announced closures of certain businesses that are reported as discontinued operations. Remaining closure activities were completed in 2014. Financial results for discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were sales of $6.4 million and $11.6 million, respectively, and pretax losses of $0.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively.
New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
In January 2015, the Company adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) to the criteria for reporting discontinued operations. Under the new criteria, a disposal of a component of an entity is required to be reported as discontinued operations only if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The criteria that there be no significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction has been removed under the new guidance. The new guidance also requires the presentation of the assets and liabilities of a disposal group that includes a discontinued operation for each comparative period and requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations, including the major line items constituting the pretax profit or loss of the discontinued operation, certain cash flow information for the discontinued operation, expanded disclosures about an entity’s significant continuing involvement in a discontinued operation, and disclosures about a disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation. The provisions of the new guidance are effective for all disposals that occur for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2015. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Pending Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2015, the FASB issued changes to simplify the measurement of inventory valuation at the lower of cost or net realizable value.  Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation.  The new inventory measurement requirements are effective for the Company’s 2017 fiscal year, and will replace the current inventory valuation guidance that requires the use of a lower of cost or market framework. This change in the measurement of inventory does not apply to inventory valued on LIFO, which is the accounting basis used for most of the Company’s inventory.  The adoption of these changes is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance on presentation of debt issuance costs. This guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this guidance. This update will be effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2016, with early adoption permitted, and is applied on a retrospective basis. The Company plans to adopt this new guidance in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had $10.2 million and $10.9 million, respectively, of debt issuance costs reported as assets on the consolidated balance sheet that will be reclassified to a reduction of the carrying amount of the debt liability upon the Company’s adoption of this new guidance.

In May 2014, the FASB issued changes to revenue recognition with customers. This update provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. An entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of

Table of Contents

promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of this new guidance resulting in it now being effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2018. This update may be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this update recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (last-in, first-out (“LIFO”), first-in, first-out (“FIFO”), and average cost methods) or market, less progress payments. Most of the Company’s inventory is valued utilizing the LIFO costing methodology. Inventory of the Company’s non-U.S. operations is valued using average cost or FIFO methods. The effect of using the LIFO methodology to value inventory, rather than FIFO, decreased cost of sales by $4.5 million for the first six months of 2015, which was offset by a $4.3 million increase in net realizable value reserves on the carrying value of LIFO-based inventory. The first six months of 2014 results included a $37.9 million increase in cost of sales from using the LIFO costing methodology, which was offset by a $35.0 million reduction in net realizable value reserves on the carrying value of LIFO-based inventory. The first six months of 2015 and 2014 results included $11.4 million and $13.1 million, respectively, in inventory valuation charges related to the market-based valuation of industrial titanium products in the Flat Rolled Products segment.

During the first quarter of 2015, Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) downgraded the Company’s credit rating one notch to BB+ from BBB-, resulting in an increase of the interest rate on the Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”) from 6.125% as of December 31, 2014 to 6.375% effective with the interest period beginning February 15, 2015. Future downgrades of the Company’s credit ratings could result in additional increases to the interest cost with respect to the 2023 Notes.
There were no outstanding borrowings made under the Company’s $400 million senior domestic credit facility (“credit facility”) as of June 30, 2015, although approximately $4.6 million has been utilized to support the issuance of letters of credit. Average borrowings under the credit facility for the first six months of 2015 were $49.8 million, bearing an average annual interest rate of 2.1%. The credit facility provides for a springing lien on certain of the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory. This springing lien became effective during the first quarter of 2015 as the Company’s credit ratings from both S&P’s and Moody’s are now below investment grade following S&P’s downgrade in the first quarter 2015 discussed above. This springing lien is subsequently released if the Company’s credit rating returns to investment grade from either rating agency, assuming no event of default condition exists. The credit facility requires the Company to maintain a leverage ratio (measured as consolidated total indebtedness net of cash on hand in excess of $50 million, divided by consolidated EBITDA, defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and non-cash pension expense, with the definition of consolidated EBIT excluding any gain or loss attributable to sale or other dispositions of assets outside the ordinary course of business, for the four prior fiscal quarters) of not greater than 4.50 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, 3.75 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, and 3.50 for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 and for each fiscal quarter thereafter. The credit facility also requires the Company to maintain an interest coverage ratio (consolidated EBITDA as calculated for the leverage ratio, divided by interest expense) of not less than 3.00 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, 3.25 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, and 3.50 for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 and for each fiscal quarter thereafter. At June 30, 2015, the leverage ratio was 3.93 and the interest coverage ratio was 3.13. While the Company was in compliance with these required financial ratios during all applicable periods through June 30, 2015, the Company does not expect to meet these required credit facility financial ratios at September 30, 2015, the next quarterly measurement period. In the third quarter 2015, the Company expects to replace the current revolving credit facility with an asset-based lending facility at the same $400 million borrowing capacity.
The Company has an additional separate credit facility for the issuance of letters of credit. As of June 30, 2015, $32 million in letters of credit were outstanding under this facility.
Shanghai STAL Precision Stainless Steel Company Limited (STAL), the Company’s Chinese joint venture company in which ATI has a 60% interest, is in the process of amending a separate $20 million revolving credit facility entered into in April 2015. As amended, borrowings under the STAL revolving credit facility are in U.S. dollars based on U.S. interbank offered rates.

Table of Contents

The credit facility is supported solely by STAL’s financial capability without any guarantees from the joint venture partners. The credit facility requires STAL to maintain a minimum level of shareholders’ equity, and certain financial ratios.
The ATI Ladish Series B and Series C Notes are guaranteed by ATI and are equally ranked with all of ATI’s existing and future senior unsecured debt.
Note 5. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging
As part of its risk management strategy, the Company, from time-to-time, utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to changes in raw material prices, energy costs, foreign currencies, and interest rates. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Company accounts for most of these contracts as hedges. In general, hedge effectiveness is determined by examining the relationship between offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the item being hedged, and the financial instrument being used for the hedge. Effectiveness is measured utilizing regression analysis and other techniques to determine whether the change in the fair market value or cash flows of the derivative exceeds the change in fair value or cash flow of the hedged item. Calculated ineffectiveness, if any, is immediately recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company sometimes uses futures and swap contracts to manage exposure to changes in prices for forecasted purchases of raw materials, such as nickel, and natural gas. Under these contracts, which are generally accounted for as cash flow hedges, the price of the item being hedged is fixed at the time that the contract is entered into and the Company is obligated to make or receive a payment equal to the net change between this fixed price and the market price at the date the contract matures.
The majority of ATI’s products are sold utilizing raw material surcharges and index mechanisms. However, as of June 30, 2015, the Company had entered into financial hedging arrangements, primarily at the request of its customers, related to firm orders, for an aggregate notional amount of approximately 20% of its estimated annual nickel requirements. These nickel hedges extend to 2020.
At June 30, 2015, the outstanding financial derivatives used to hedge the Company’s exposure to energy cost volatility included natural gas cost hedges for approximately 80% of its annual forecasted domestic requirements for 2015, approximately 80% for 2016, and approximately 50% for 2017.
While the majority of the Company’s direct export sales are transacted in U.S. dollars, foreign currency exchange contracts are used, from time-to-time, to limit transactional exposure to changes in currency exchange rates for those transactions denominated in a non-U.S. currency. The Company sometimes purchases foreign currency forward contracts that permit it to sell specified amounts of foreign currencies expected to be received from its export sales for pre-established U.S. dollar amounts at specified dates. The forward contracts are denominated in the same foreign currencies in which export sales are denominated. These contracts are designated as hedges of the variability in cash flows of a portion of the forecasted future export sales transactions which otherwise would expose the Company to foreign currency risk, primarily euros. At June 30, 2015, the Company held euro forward sales contracts designated as hedges with a notional value of approximately 334 million euro with maturity dates through June 2018, including approximately 103 million euro with maturities in 2015. In addition, the Company may also designate cash balances held in foreign currencies as hedges of forecasted foreign currency transactions.
During the first quarter of 2015, the Company net settled 126.5 million euro notional value of foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges with 2015 maturity dates, receiving cash proceeds of $26.1 million which is reported in cash provided by operating activities on the consolidated cash flow statement. Deferred gains on these settled cash flow hedges currently recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified to earnings when the underlying transactions occur. The Company subsequently entered into 115 million euro notional value of foreign currency forward contracts designated as fair value hedges in the first quarter of 2015, all with 2015 maturity dates and of which 69 million euro notional was outstanding as of June 30, 2015. The Company recorded a $1.9 million and $7.4 million benefit in costs of sales on the consolidated statement of operations in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, for mark-to-market changes on these fair value hedges.
The Company may enter into derivative interest rate contracts to maintain a reasonable balance between fixed- and floating-rate debt. There were no unsettled derivative financial instruments related to debt balances for the periods presented.
There are no credit risk-related contingent features in the Company’s derivative contracts, and the contracts contained no provisions under which the Company has posted, or would be required to post, collateral. The counterparties to the Company’s derivative contracts are substantial and creditworthy commercial banks that are recognized market makers. The Company controls its credit exposure by diversifying across multiple counterparties and by monitoring credit ratings and credit default swap spreads of its counterparties. The Company also enters into master netting agreements with counterparties when possible.

The fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments are presented below, representing the gross amounts recognized which are not offset by counterparty or by type of item hedged. All fair values for these derivatives were measured using Level 2 information as defined by the accounting standard hierarchy, which includes quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

For derivative financial instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (OCI) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current period results. For derivative financial instruments that are designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized in current period results. The Company did not use net investment hedges for the periods presented. The effects of derivative instruments in the tables below are presented net of related income taxes.
Assuming market prices remain constant with those at June 30, 2015, a gain of $2.2 million is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months.

In accordance with accounting standards, fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting standards established three levels of a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The availability of observable market data is monitored to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, the transfer is reported at the beginning of the reporting period. No transfers between levels were reported in 2015 or 2014.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents: Fair value was determined using Level 1 information.
Derivative financial instruments: Fair values for derivatives were measured using exchange-traded prices for the hedged items. The fair value was determined using Level 2 information, including consideration of counterparty risk and the Company’s credit risk.
Short-term and long-term debt: The fair values of the Company’s publicly traded debt were based on Level 1 information. The fair values of the other short-term and long-term debt were determined using Level 2 information.

Note 7. Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits
The Company has defined benefit pension plans or defined contribution plans covering substantially all employees. Benefits under the defined benefit pension plans are generally based on years of service and/or final average pay. The Company funds the U.S. pension plans in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the Internal Revenue Code.
The Company also sponsors several postretirement plans covering certain salaried and hourly employees. The plans provide health care and life insurance benefits for eligible retirees. In most plans, Company contributions towards premiums are capped based on the cost as of a certain date, thereby creating a defined contribution. For the non-collectively bargained plans, the Company maintains the right to amend or terminate the plans at its discretion.
For the three month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the components of pension expense and components of other postretirement benefit expense for the Company’s defined benefit plans included the following (in millions):

Note 8. Income Taxes
Second quarter 2015 results included a benefit for income taxes of $7.7 million, or 35.6% of loss from continuing operations before income tax, compared to a benefit of $2.9 million, or 85.3% of loss from continuing operations before income tax, for the 2014 comparable period. Income taxes in the second quarter of 2015 included discrete tax expense of $0.7 million and income taxes in the second quarter of 2014 included discrete tax benefits of $2.2 million primarily associated with adjustments to prior years’ taxes. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company resolved various uncertain tax position matters related to temporary differences which resulted in $60.9 million of the long-term liability for uncertain tax positions being reclassified as a deferred tax liability at June 30, 2015.
For the first six months of 2015, the provision for income taxes was $0.3 million, compared to a benefit for income taxes of $12.9 million, for the 2014 comparable period. The income tax rate in 2015 and 2014 is impacted by the Company’s inability to use the federal domestic manufacturing deduction tax benefit due to net operating loss carryforwards. The first six months of 2015 included discrete tax expense of $0.9 million and the first six months of 2014 included discrete tax benefits of $4.4

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company determined that it was unable to make a reliable estimate of the annual effective tax rate, as significant changes in projected results for the Company’s domestic operations can produce a significant variation in its annual effective tax rate. Therefore, the Company recorded a tax benefit/provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 based on the actual year to date effective rate for these periods.
Note 9. Business Segments
The Company operates in two business segments: High Performance Materials & Components and Flat Rolled Products. The measure of segment operating profit, which is used to analyze the performance and results of the business segments, excludes income taxes, corporate expenses, net interest expense, retirement benefit expense, closed company expenses and restructuring costs, if any. Discontinued operations are also excluded. Management believes segment operating profit, as defined, provides an appropriate measure of controllable operating results at the business segment level. Following is certain financial information with respect to the Company’s business segments for the periods indicated (in millions):

Retirement benefit expense represents defined benefit pension expense and other postretirement benefit expense for both defined benefit and defined contribution plans. Operating profit with respect to the Company’s business segments excludes any retirement benefit expense. Costs associated with multiemployer pension plans are included in segment operating profit, and costs associated with defined contribution retirement plans are included in segment operating profit or corporate expenses, as applicable.
Interest expense, net of interest income, in the second quarter 2015 was $26.8 million, compared to net interest expense of $28.5 million in the second quarter 2014. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to lower debt levels. Interest expense benefited from the capitalization of interest costs of $0.5 million in the second quarter 2015 compared to $1.4 million in the second quarter 2014.

Note 10. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
The holders of the 15% noncontrolling interest in ATI Flowform Products have a put option to require the Company to purchase their equity interest at a redemption value determinable from a specified formula based on a multiple of EBITDA (subject to a fixed minimum linked to the original acquisition date value). The put option is fully exercisable beginning in the second quarter of 2017, and is also exercisable under certain other circumstances. The put option cannot be separated from the noncontrolling interest, and the combination of a noncontrolling interest and the redemption feature requires classification as redeemable noncontrolling interest in the consolidated balance sheet, separate from Stockholders’ Equity.
The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest approximates its maximum redemption value. Any subsequent change in maximum redemption value is adjusted through retained earnings. The adjustment to the carrying amount for the six months ended June 30, 2015 reduced retained earnings by $0.1 million. The Company applied the two-class method of calculating earnings per share, and as such this adjustment to the carrying amount was reflected in earnings per share. The redeemable noncontrolling interest was $12.1 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, which was unchanged from the acquisition date value.

Common stock that would be issuable upon the assumed conversion of the 2014 Convertible Notes (prior to maturity on June 2, 2014) and other option equivalents and contingently issuable shares are excluded from the computation of contingently issuable shares, and therefore, from the denominator for diluted earnings per share, if the effect of inclusion is anti-dilutive. There were 1.2 million and 1.0 million anti-dilutive shares for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and 7.0 million and 8.5 million anti-dilutive shares for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively.
